Amazing Race Tuesday 22 March 2011
Getting to know my team.
Today we did the start of Amazing Race, we meet our people in our team and did a building activity. The activity was to build a car as we need this for our Amazing Race. All of the other people in my group are year sevens. I would have liked another year eight in my group as I only meet the other members in my group today.
Building the car was kinda fun but it dragged on a bit long and it did get a bit boring because we did it for two blocks. But it was fun and I believe that we did a really good job in the team part of it. There was a bit of trouble when Georgia and Sam wonted different colours for our car to be but they got over that and we carried on as usual.
I think tomorrow will be allot of fun as we don't what we are doing or even where were going. There is a couple of questions I have like who thought of the idea because it is brilliant and I would like to thank all the teachers and parents that will make this trip possible. Friday 8 April 2011
